quick browse-by...
*everyone* should have an active registry monitor running upon boot up to monitor registry changes which allows one to say yes or no to registry changes.
this is first line computer defense, along with a few other simple things which will allow one to pretty much do the net without worry.

Thanks for the headsup GM! Just ran it, phew! Clean.
Question, could someone explain what Ad-Watch is/does? I have the Pro version and don't know what Ad-Watch is. Is it something that runs "behind-the-scenes"? I tried to use it but it kept popping up with things I couldn't understand.

Ad-Watch monitors your registry for changes and notifies you when a program tries to modify any of the hives it is watching. Pretty much what IP is advocating everyone should have on their machine..

I figure even if I never used it myself, one day someone would show up in a world of trouble and maybe I could help them with it. I use winpatrol and firewall and usually one pops up with changes to registry, start menu, host files... I just don't trust that it will always work every time.
